Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, particularly in the development of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and other bioactive molecules. Its functional groups—ester, bromo, and carbamoyl—allow for selective modifications, enabling the construction of complex aromatic structures. Commonly employed in cross-coupling reactions such as Suzuki or Heck reactions, where the bromine atom serves as a reactive site for carbon-carbon bond formation. Also utilized in the preparation of heterocyclic compounds through cyclization strategies, supporting research in medicinal chemistry for lead optimization and drug discovery.
